What we do

Our principal aim is to provide inspiring leadership and management training for anyone engaged in the Agriculture industry, and the Company offers considerable charitable financial support towards this aim. Our courses are renowned throughout the industry, with the flagship course in Rural Business Management now in its 63rd year, and the Challenge of Rural Leadership course its 31st. In addition, Liverymen have the unique experience of belonging to the family of City of London Livery Companies, meeting like-minded fellow professionals from all walks of life at convivial events in wonderful settings.

Outstanding courses

The course in Rural Business Management and the Challenge of Rural Leadership are the blue riband courses of their kind. The picture shows delegates from 1963.

City Farms

Our work in supporting the City Farms movement tables both children and adults from some challenging backgrounds to experience a little rural life in the middle of their city.

Lectures and events

Our lectures, formal events and banquets are held in some of the most spectacular venues in London in the company of leaders from across the agri-food industry.

Fellowship

Fellowship is a key part of the Livery movement. A good example is our annual Master’s Summer Visit, always keenly anticipated, with convivial gatherings across the country.
